> However removing the device suffix (the colon) is really what causes this to be a bug. I never thought about it, but when you consider ‘:’ as the device suffix, this makes directory structures make more sense to me on Windows. C:\foo\bar makes more sense to me if it is the ‘C:’ device. Calling it a ‘C drive’ with a separate namespace never made sense to me. Somehow thinking of it the ‘C:’ device in an anonymous global hierarchy makes more sense to me.
